## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Intellectual Property — Patents, Trade Marks, Copyright, Designs](https://ailawframework.com/practice/intellectual-property-patents-trade-marks-copyright-designs.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the register extract and the documents the lawyer selects, list each proposed ground, the material facts that support it, and the trade marks particularised under a section 44 ground. Count grounds for the fee with section 58A left out, and count section 44 marks above ten. Mark a ground that has no facts. Do not write the statement that will be filed. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer chooses the grounds, writes the statement of grounds and particulars in the approved form, and files it within one month of the notice of intention to oppose. The lawyer checks that the statement is in the same name as that notice. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to independent sources and check for relevant material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: From the register extract and the documents the lawyer selects, list each proposed ground, the material facts that support it, and the trade marks particularised under a section 44 ground. Count grounds for the fee with section 58A left out, and count section 44 marks above ten. Mark a ground that has no facts. Do not write the statement that will be filed.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer chooses the grounds, writes the statement of grounds and particulars in the approved form, and files it within one month of the notice of intention to oppose. The lawyer checks that the statement is in the same name as that notice.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Check each trade mark number and priority date against the register extract, not against the client's list.
2. Confirm the one-month date is calculated from the day the notice of intention to oppose was filed.
3. Confirm the fee count excludes section 58A and applies the manual's thresholds before a fee is paid.
4. Confirm a ground with no particulars is marked, because an inadequate ground can be deleted and a wholly inadequate statement can lead to dismissal.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
